title: [The diagnostic importance of functional tests in assessing myocardial contractile capacity in diabetics].
abstract: Cardiohemodynamics was evaluated in 129 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) by rheopolycardiography. The studies were made in horizontal position and with functional tests. IDDM patients showed significant disorders of the contractile function of the myocardium which were directly related to the patient's age, degree of vascular complications; there was no correlation with duration of the illness. Comparative assessment of the informative value of the orthostatic test and physical exercise showed that in the former case, the parameters reflect not only patterns of the shifts recorded but give an idea of degree of the disorder in IDDM patients as well. With the physical exercises being done, one can observe direction of the shifts.
